This is kind of what I’m feeling right now. So far, I’ve got our weekly budget sorted out and most of the time it’s enough for all our expenses. But Jamaine is starting school in a year and that takes our expenses to a whole new level.

You made me  a little sad today. That pair of Air Max 90s was my birthday and Christmas gift for my hubby. It was the most expensive gift I’ve ever given him. I spent my well-deserved bonus on those shoes. I stayed late in Gateway with my friends just so I could go home exactly [...]

Bridget: God, don’t you love to run?
Eric: Yeah, it’s the best high you can have.
Bridget: Exactly! It’s like you’re just in this place where nothing bad can happen, you know. Like if you just push a bit further, if you keep moving…

Since Iya lost my Clearasil tube weeks ago, I headed to Watson’s on a mission to buy a new one or to find an alternative pimple treatment.

Watching Jamaine grow up just makes me so happy.

I remember during one of those nights less than two years ago when she was just a little baby in my arms, I imagined the day that she would be old enough to talk with me and tell me stories.

I’ve been establishing a morning routine for the past weeks that includes visualization and meditation. But instead of listening to instrumental music, I am listening to paraliminals.

We had just come from hearing the midday Victory service at UP. On our way home, hubby said he’ll drop off Kalia and I while he and Jamaine would go [...]

“Mommy, let’s buy Baby Jaguar…”
Jamaine was watching Dora the Explorer when she blurted out that she wanted to have Baby Jaguar. I had to explain to her that jaguars are actually animals who live in the wild and they are not for sale. (Unless you become a high rank and/or wealthy politician who can keep [...]
